What causes postpartum hair loss?

During pregnancy, your hormones change rapidly. The growth factors like are increased and you look healthier than before. Due to the high level of estrogen in the body, the more strands stay in resting phase and don’t fall out during the pregnancy. After the birth f a child, the growth factors, and hormones take some time to come back to the normal state, this process usually takes 5-6 months. At this point, you may experience a drastic hair shed because so many strands are completing their cycles. This is normal and natural process but if you don’t get the right density of hair back on your head, you may need to undergo some hair loss treatments for that.
